you might try a piece of window screen to cut out some of the light from the fixture or plastic needle point canvas. This blocks a large percent of the light.
Also how often are you doing water changes, and how much?
I would probably increase the frequency and amount to 2 times per week and 30-40%.
Another thing is Purigen or Phosguard pouch which can bind op some of the organics and phosphate.
What kind of food are you using? Some flake foods seem to have a bit of phosphates.
You can remove the tank items and use a extra soft bristle tooth brush (dollar at the dollar store) and / or a Mr. clean sponge (also 1 for $1.00) pre-moistened and a 50 /50 amount of 3% Hydrogen peroxide like found at the grocery store pharmacy, and water.
Be gentle and wipe or softly brush the leaves. You might want to remove the very bad ones.
Then I would do a quick rinse in tap water to get the sludge off and then drip a little peroxide onto the leaves and wait a minute and rinse off.
If the item is a decoration plastic, ceramic or resin you can put the peroxide on and brush it at full strength. To be safe of coloration on the decor, do a small test spot in the back of it.
I think the light is a big part of the issue. Does it have 4 numbers with a K after it anywhere on the bulb? ie. 2700K
